We are 30 minutes away from the Scary Fast Apple event.
I came across an Apple event bingo card from the Basic Apple Guy blog.
Are there any items on the list you don't expect to happen or 100% sure will happen? Is there anything missing? Let's get the conversation started.
The $1600 MacBook Pro only has 8GB of RAM. That is completely unacceptable.
Lemmy needs a live thread option
So I think the “chat” sort is supposed to be that I think. Maybe not all apps support it. And I suspect it’s got some bug too.
You can really spend $1700 for an iMac or $1800 for a MacBook Pro that come with only 8GB RAM in their base configurations. C'mon.
M3 Pro/Max already?? Daaamn
They said 3nm, right?
Yup
The Apple store is officially down.
Three new chips: M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max on 3nm with "Dynamic Caching."
The video feed is live now. As in previous events, Apple is streaming music, this time Spooky-inspired.

Too late here. See you tomorrow guys, night night
You have to wonder why they are holding the event outside of North American business hours.
Wow, they are updating the Macbook Pro.
"apple highlights gaming performance" and "a minimum of 5 graphs are presented" seem guaranteed to me. That's the standard when they have a chip update to present lol.
Making some bold GPU claims. Supposedly it's 2x perf over the m2 line.
.. with something specific the M2 didn’t have hardware support for.
Up to 128GB of unified memory for M3 max confirmed. That is seriously beefy.
I think that counts as "reference to Apple having the best notebooks", right?
Also, "chip lab visit" of course.
Oh yeah, now we're getting plenty of graphs and efficiency claims lol
Edit: wrong thread
Maybe a low cost one?
Like just lower the price of the m1 air and call it the MacBook or something.
I’d love to have a Mac, but they are too pricy at the moment.
Apple doesn’t really do cheap computers. If you want cheap an older machine mini is your best bet. Intel Macs are tanking in value at the moment.
I get that, but I also keep hearing about how they are not selling enough computers. If they want to sell more computers, they are going to have to lower the price.
The event is starting...
Starting off with a Mac-related video showing off how people use their Macs.
I love it. They used the Apple logo as the Moon.
That was a cool intro
Considering Apple updated the 14" & 16" MacBook Pro to M2 chips the same time as Mac Mini back in Jan 2023, and many believed that it was delayed due to supply chain and production issues, supposedly the release schedule was Oct-Nov 2022 in previous year.
Now that MacBook Pros get the M3, M3 Pro, M3 Max, why didn't the Mac Mini get the refreshed as well ?
Will Apple just simply make the Mac Mini the drag queen that stretched 3-4 years refresh cycle ?
And the 27” iMac everyone keeps wishing for didn’t come. I’m not too sad about it. I can appreciate having a mini and a powerful laptop and I don’t have the Apple display but having all the power tied up in an all in one is freeing. I can upgrade that mini now much more cheaply and easily. And I can use the screen with my laptop instead of target display mode.
I was really hoping they were going to announce they purchased the Paul Lynn Halloween Special and converted it to 4K!
